Being too tired at work is not just your problem
Shifting the responsibility for feeling tired at work - to your boss - seems a fitting topic for discussion on the first Monday of daylight saving.
And if Safe Work Australia has their way, we'll soon be allowed to expect our employers to manage our fatigue for us.
They're proposing a new code of practice for employers, expected to be finalised next year that will be admissible in court if an employer is charged with breaching workplace health and safety laws.
It includes a proposed "fatigue checklist" to assist employers in gauging whether their employees have slept enough to manage tasks safely. As well as rosters that accommodate workers' social lives and training sessions to help people balance "work and personal lifestyle demands".
What a great idea. It's about time we put more emphasis on discussing the importance of flexibility and open communication in the workplace, particularly for people who are expected to do shift work.
But while this code of practice is mostly designed for people installing power lines and others doing dangerous tasks, there is no reason why we shouldn't apply the same principles to office workers.
These proposals place a much needed and far too rare emphasis back of the importance of sleep and physical wellbeing in the workplace. If the goal is to create resilient, dynamic industry then the physical and mental health of employees should be the top of the list.
The only problem of course, will be getting employers on board. Safe Work Australia's proposals have already been rubbished by industry chiefs who question the time and difficulty involved in implementing the code of practice.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Anderson has warned it would require employers to "delve into the personal lives of staff".
While Australian Industry Group representative Mark Goodsell said it would be impossible to prove if worker fatigue was a result of a second job. "People can lie to you and say they weren't doing anything on the weekend to make them tired," he said.
Both comments speak volumes about the need for greater trust and better lines of communication when it comes to working conditions in this country.
Planning ahead and being realistic about time pressures, sleep and family commitments should not be seen as such a crazy idea. Ditto talking to your employees about the best way to manage the unique pressures of the modern working environment.

Excellent. Now we can really sing this song and mean it:
The Unthanks: Monday Morning
Too soon to be out of me bed,
Too soon to be back to this bus queue caper,
Fumbling for change for me picture paper,
On a Monday morning ...
Chris L says:
Employers already have a duty of care regarding employee safety, and I'm certain that would include education on managing fatigue for those high risk jobs mentioned.
As Goodsell pointed out, there's no way the employer can be further responsible unless they're allowed to dictate what their employees can do with their free time. Not something I would be in support of.
Employers must provide the tools and education needed to maintain safety, the rest should be up to the employee.
Mitch says:
Any good employer (or at least manager) already does look out for the fatigue levels of their staff. People don't work well when they're tired and in some industries this can be down-right dangerous, not just to the worker but their workmates.
Richard says:
Do we really need MORE regulations in the workplace to dissuade employers from hiring more workers? Don't be fooled by the official unemployment figures, rather look to the workplace participation rates: they're too low. We need more people in jobs which means we need less regulations which prevent companies from wanting to give people jobs.
Luke says:
Can the Punch refer us punters to the nearest retailer who stocks the Homer Wide Awake glasses.
expat says:
"there is no reason why we shouldn't apply the same principles to office workers." - You have got to be kidding, when did office equipment become so dangerous that people were too fatigued to operate it safely?
More red tape and regulation will just equate to less investment and more jobs going overseas.
Bitten says:
Yes, because we all need to be infantilised more by bureaucrats.
I used to scoff at the supposed 'adults' of today who ask inane questions like "How am I supposed to raise a child?" and "How did our parents and grandparents ever manage to do things like pay mortgages and walk upright and just do their jobs?" Now of course I realise that these pathetic questions from the 'adults' of today are absolutely genuine: Australians are infants, genuinely bewildered by the realities of adulthood and the expectations that they, themselves, must manage their individual responsibilities. We have succeeded in creating a generation of children who have masqueraded into adulthood with no understanding of personal accountability or responsibility because we have absolved them from it and passed it on to external agencies: employers, government departments etc.
This is just the next step.
Don says:
Excellent - when do they start on the doctors? Who hasn't heard first hand the ridiculous shifts that they are expected to work and brag about it as a right of passage. A truckie goes an hour over his allocated drive time and he gets nailed to a wall. A doctor works a 24 hour shift and he is a champ. All good yeah?
KH says:
Seriously, people need to take responsibiltity for their own actions. Who would want to be an employer if you could be sued because Joe Dumbass didn't get enough sleep because he went out last night, and ran someone over in his forklift today? Or Debby Dumbass gives a patient a massive overdose and kills them because she was out partying on the weekend and pulled an all nighter and misread the dose? What, now they have to hire someone to go around asking people how much they slept in the last 24 hours? What if the employee lies because they don't get paid if they don't work that day? Who is responsible then?
I still live in hope that one day, personal responsibility will be the expectation, not the exception.
Loxy says:
The employee is the one best placed to know whether they had a late night, didn't sleep well etc and are simply too tired to do their job properly. Trying to shift this responsibility to employers (who have no control over what an employee does in their personal time) simply won't work. Most managers and businesses don't have the time to ask each of their employees questions every morning on their quality of sleep and why should they have to? It's up to an employee to ensure they get sufficient sleep to do the job they were hired to do or talk to their manager if they don't feel up to a job.
Tator says:
Having worked in a shift work environment and knowing of a case where my employer was found responsible for an accident caused by fatigue (an extreme case where a member who was on nightshift was recalled to duty for a court case and had an accident on the way home), some form of fatigue management is essential by employers. My employer reacted by implementing policies which directed managers to ensure members who worked excessively long shifts due to overtime (12 hours or more) are given a lift home if available or a cabcharge voucher. Where I currently work, we have strict fatigue management guidelines due to the high risk nature of our job as we spend up to twelve hours a day conducting these high risk activities and take mandated breaks during the day.
Chris Erwin says:
When the WHS laws first started to roll out in force in the nineties, who could have dreamed that within t twenty years this would be the result.It has become a religion and the high priests in Canberra would be constantly trying to justify their pathetic jobs by adding to it , one step at a time until we end up with this ridiculous absurd mess of an ideaThe very idea that a job might intrude on your social life , how inconvenient, how rude.Is this how we are going to compete in an international economy. Is a work ethic becoming unfashionable or is work itself the problem, lets abolish that and all go on the dole(another fantastic character building idea)
Achmed says:
Having read the list yesterday I was appalled that anyone could think of this. These people have to much time on their hands and need to spend sometime in the real work places.
How could an employer keep a check on an employees sleep patterns at home?
Or their driving on the way home? Or if they have a headache or if they are daydreaming?
Andrew Leembruggen says:
This is the next logical step in the bureaucratic evolution of the nanny state. The next logical step is to give employees three strikes for being too tired.
FZR560 says:
My employer has a fatigue management system in place but both new and old employees are convinced that the system increases fatigue, rather than reduce it. Yet another example of theory not reflecting reality. There is evidence that the effects of fatigue are similar to alcohol but it seems to me that management is happy to hide behind their FMS and hope for the best.

In this section, we take you behind the scenes to learn more about the development of Nikon imaging products (e.g. cameras, lenses and Speedlights) and a number of advanced features.
Behind the scenes
Outstanding reproduction capability of point light sources located at infinity even at the maximum aperture. Exquisitely created bokeh characteristics that depict people and still objects attractively with natural depth. These two contradictory advantages are achieved by the superior rendering capability of the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G, resulting in more creative photographic expression. We talked with the person in charge of its design about the attractive points of this lens that enhance the user's enjoyment of an interchangeable lens, the basic concept behind its development, as well as his profound empathy for the lens.
With its overwhelming pixel count of 36.3 megapixels, the D800/D800E realize high resolution, fine description of texture and smooth color gradation that are almost equivalent to those of studio-use cameras, including medium-format cameras. Realizing outstandingly high picture quality without sacrificing the mobility and durability that Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras offer, the D800/D800E will surely develop the future of image expression for both stills and movies. We talked with the technicians in charge of the camera's development about the inside stories and attractive features of the product.
Since the birth of the first COOLPIX camera in 1997, the COOLPIX series has continued to introduce innovative new designs including the swivel design and the wave surface design. We will provide an insight into some of the secrets behind COOLPIX development.
85mm f/3.5G ED VR lens, however, it is possible to capture only the dish of food. Micro lenses enable creative photography that reflects individual intent. Photographs that exceed the imagination are possible. This lens will revolutionize the way in which your photographs communicate your individual creativity.
The COOLPIX S8000 and S6000 will completely satisfy users with their ability to capture the moment with beautiful, sharp images. With a new image processing engine and four advanced image stabilization features that prevent or reduce blur in photos-lens-shift vibration reduction, support for high sensitivities with low noise levels, refined motion detection, a new flash control system-blur and noise are reduced, enabling users to capture the images they intended under circumstances that frequently result in blurred images, such as with super-telephoto shooting, indoor scenes captured under dim lighting, and difficult backlit scenes.
The D5000 is Nikon's first digital SLR camera to use the Vari-angle monitor. Freedom and fun in taking photos has been vastly enhanced with the ability to alter the shooting angle. We talked with personnel in charge of product development and marketing about the qualities of the D5000, which offers the same high resolution and performance of a mid-range digital SLR while being simple to use.
A new Nikon COOLPIX compact digital camera is the first digital camera in the world to feature a built-in miniature projector. This innovative camera represents the advent of a new type of video tool for viewing and sharing photo images via a compact, lightweight camera body. From their individual viewpoints, the project manager and personnel in charge of engineering and the GUI talk about the development of this particular product.
The D700 inherits the overwhelming picture quality performance of Nikon's flagship FX-format D3. With its high sensitivity of ISO 6400, high-density 51-point AF, and scene recognition system as well as a host of other D3 features, the D700 offers top class performance at a more affordable price and easier-to-handle size, and thus heralds a new age in the evolution of digital cameras. We met with the people in charge of the D700's development and talked about the concepts and inside stories behind the advent of this remarkable new camera.
The aspherical lens has a curved surface that is not spherical and has the ability to correct aberrations. One type of aspherical lens that is particularly superior from the aspect of practical use and performance is the molded-glass aspherical lens, or the Precision Glass Mold (PGM) aspherical lens, as it is known at Nikon. In this Behind the Scenes story we talk with three engineers from the viewpoints of design, development, and manufacturing about the Nikon technologies that have made it possible to produce high-precision wide-aperture aspherical lenses.
In a digital camera, the light from the subject that comes in through the lens is captured using an image sensor and converted into electronic signals, which are recorded on a memory card.
Nikon's originally developed large image sensor, the FX-format CMOS sensor, as used by the D3 digital single-lens reflex camera, yields a hitherto unseen level of image quality in the form of rich gradation expressions and high-definition images. The man responsible for its development introduces the appeal of this new technology and some unknown facts behind its creation.
Nikon Photo Contest International (NPCI), which is designed to provide an arena for interchange among photography enthusiasts from all over the world (professional and amateur alike) and to contribute to the culture of photography, is about to start. We talked with two people from the marketing division who are in charge of this international contest—now being held for the 32nd time—about its history and appeal, and about Nikon's ambitions in organizing it.
The lens—indispensable to the camera. This year sees the 75th anniversary of NIKKOR, the world class Japanese brand of lenses. We talked with two members of the marketing division about how the NIKKOR lens has miraculously kept pace with Nikon cameras, the secret of how these lenses have survived for so long, the celebratory events that are taking place, and their passion for the NIKKOR.
The flagship model in Nikon's DX format range, the D300 digital single lens reflex camera, was launched in November of 2007. The Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 is a device that unobtrusively facilitates this camera's outstanding portability. This revolutionary battery pack combines sleek design, functionality, and usability. We discussed its appeal with the people in charge of its design, mechanics and electronics.
Ghost and flare: Phenomena that occur due to reflection inside a lens barrel or camera. In the past it had been thought that it was impossible to eliminate the type of ghosts and flare that are caused by strong light entering the lens diagonally—even using various types of lens coating. Here we mark the arrival of the Nano Crystal Coat (as used on the AF-S NIKKOR 14–24mm f/2.8G ED, the first ever ultra wideangle lens)—a truly revolutionary technology that has greatly alleviated these problems—and focus on the men who developed it.
Before shooting a scene, a professional photographer adjusts focus, exposure and white balance based on his or her experience. Nikon's Scene Recognition System represents a completely new concept whereby the camera makes this series of judgments as if it were the photographer's brain. We would like to share with you some of the views of the developer of the Scene Recognition System, which has been introduced in the Nikon D3 and D300 digital SLR cameras.
Nikon Close-up Speedlight Commander Kit R1C1 consists of the Wireless Speedlight Commander SU-800, two Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200s, and a variety of accessories to help users enjoy professional quality close-up flash photography. We spoke with two people involved with the development of these products.
Judging from its favorable reception in the marketplace, the COOLPIX S-Series is the shape of sophisticated style to come in compact digital cameras. We invited an industrial designer who has been instrumental to the development of the COOLPIX S-Series to provide insight into the visual and market appeal of these slim cameras including the Wave Surface Design.
As the performance of digital cameras advances, vibration reduction (VR) is becoming an increasingly key technology. Nikon has been gaining a high reputation in the market over many years since the company was the first to release a 35mm compact camera incorporating unique VR technology in 1994. Nikon's secret of high performance and reliability is examined in an interview with an engineer who has been involved with developing VR technology.
Taking a proud legacy of photo editing software to a higher level, Nikon has launched "Capture NX" as a successor to its earlier, universally acclaimed "Nikon Capture 4." Here, the designer who developed "Capture NX" with an eye toward functional innovations and powerful enhancements reveals the inside story of the new software and how it takes state-of-the-art digital photo editing a quantum leap ahead.
Control of light is critical to heightening photography's expressive power. Nikon's light metering technologies are valued for their superior precision throughout the spectrum of lighting conditions. An engineer who has been developing these innovations for years offers insight into these technologies.
Established in 1939, PMDA is an American organization comprised of camera manufacturers and distributors that plays a central role in promoting imaging and charting the future of the photographic industry. PMDA annually awards outstanding individuals and services in the photographic industry. We spoke with Mr. Naoki Tomino, Vice President, Imaging Company, Nikon Corporation, and recipient of the 2006 Technical Achievement Award.
As digital cameras continue to evolve rapidly a key player in the development of digital imaging technology, since the beginning of the digital imaging age and the launch of the Nikon D1 digital-SLR camera, discusses the enormous advances achieved from a developer's standpoint.
The Wireless Transmitter WT-2 makes it possible to transmit at high speed image data taken by a digital SLR camera through wireless LAN. The man in charge of marketing it has a unique perspective of the product as a new kind of accessory to expand the possibilities of digital photography.
The new Nikon digital camera flagship model on the market delivers superior high-resolution images, thanks to a newly-developed image processing engine with unprecedented capability for reproducing color. Here, the designer who helped create this processing engine proudly assesses the final result.
2004 marks the arrival of the long-awaited Nikon F6 - a new flagship model embodying all of the qualities that photography enthusiasts could desire in the ultimate film SLR camera. Here is the inside story behind the development of the F6.
The D1H made its debut in 2001. The D2H digital SLR for professional use was launched last November. We spoke to a designer who devoted his career at Nikon to developing this camera's innovative AF system.
In July 2003, Nikon introduced LBCAST- a completely new type of image sensor, different from CCD and CMOS, that is a high-speed, power-efficient, low-noise device to be installed in Nikon's flagship camera, the D2H. Here is the inside story behind the creation of this innovation, from those who conceived and developed it.
Mr. Katsuyuki Inomata is an engineer at Sendai Nikon Corporation, a major producer of Nikon flagship SLR cameras including the F5 and D1-series. He spoke to us about what it takes to manufacture such highly advanced cameras.
Among lenses of the new DX Nikkor series specially designed for Nikon digital SLR cameras, the first is small and light, with ultra-wideangle zoom capability. Here, the optical designer behind its development reveals the inside story.
Almost immediately following the release of the cameras, we spoke with YAMADA, Yukako, the marketing staff for the two new digital compact cameras. She explained the key features of the cameras, and also shared some behind-the-scenes stories about their development.
A brand new telephoto zoom lens featuring an internal Silent Wave Motor (SWM), extremely fast and extremely quiet autofocus operation, and the VR (Vibration Reduction) function to compensate for camera shake. We spoke with a member of the development team about this new lens.
The Nikon SB-80DX Speedlight, released in Feb., 2002, is a high-performance, highly functional flash unit designed for use with Nikon's advanced film-type SLRs as well as D1-series and D100 digital SLRs. In this issue, we take you behind the scenes to learn more about the development of the SB-80DX and some of its more advanced features.
The D100 digital SLR camera, released in Jun., 2002, offers a compact, lightweight body with ergonomic operability and high image quality. Here, the people who developed the D100 talk about its origins and other behind-the-scenes stories.

Haggis is a great looking dog. I think "in-between" snouts look noble on a dog. Thick, but not to stubby or long. Think Great Dane snouts.
To make my heartbreak a little more complete, a favorite uncle of mine died over the weekend. His funeral was last night and his burial today. He was suffering, so this was a release, but still . . .

I was crying into my breakfast bowl this morning just looking at him laying there waiting for me to finish, like he normally does. So he struggles to his feet and comes over and lays his head in my lap. Despite his prickly personality, he seems to know when we are feeling bad and would always stick right by whomever was feeling ill or sad. One time when my wife was violently ill with a stomach bug, he climbed up on the bed and laid right next to her back and refused to budge.
We are treating him as if this is just another day . . .

Namiki Falcon Fountain Pen
What a pen!
I've been writing with a fountain pen for the past 54 years. While learning italic script I came across mention of the Falcon and it's very responsive flexible nib. It hasn't been a disappointment. It's the best fountain pen I've ever had the pleasure of using. I purchased the fine nib and find that depending on the paper and how I hold the pen it adds some interesting touches to my everyday handwriting. The ink chamber is generous. The pen flies across the paper almost as fast as a ball point. I might have liked a more elaborate style pen, but all in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great Pen
This pen is one of the smoothest writing pens I have ever had. It does seem to have a broader line for a Japanese nib--more like a European medium--but it is exceptionally smooth. I like it because it is a simple, clean design and I especially like the screw on cap. For the money this pen has to be one of the best values in the higher end pen category.
February 15, 2014
Above adequate
As mentioned by other reviewers, the flex of this nib isn't great—it is only semi-flex compared to vintage full-flex nibs. Ink flow is great through this pen albeit some inks run too much when using it (even though in other fountain pens used with the same ink there is no issue). It's the smoothest fountain pen I've had the pleasure of owning thus far though so an overall 5 star rating would be fair.

Best Fountain Pen Ever
I have been using fountain pens since the third grade, and can finally stop looking for, and spending money, on the search for the perfect pen. From the first stroke, this pen has written beautifully, skating across the page with a perfect line from its "soft fine" point. It fits my hand perfectly as well. My only criticisms are very minor - it is very light weight, and so does not feel substanttial in the hand - but this also means that I can use it for hours without getting tired. Finally, I would love to see a more striking style and different colors - the look could not be much more boring, but that makes it good and corporate. This is a wonderful pen - buy it and enjoy.
September 2, 2011
Pure Joy
The nib design is the reason any fountain pen lover NEEDS this one. For the money, you won't find a more expressive joyful pen to fist your notes. It paints ink onto the paper as if a brush. I rotate this pen through my daily writers, it is easily in the top 10 of my favorites. The only thorns: when about 1/2 through the ink, it needs burping or refilling to avoid dry heaves on the paper. And I would buy a second or third if it came in more colors.

Nice Pen, but not "perfect"
I love fountain pens, and use them both for daily writing and sketching. For years, I've been looking for the perfect flexible-nib pen. The Falcon's legendary softness and flexibility seemed to fit what I was looking for, and I finally swallowed hard about spending so much money and bought one, with a M nib since Japanese F nibs. My first impression was that the ink flows wonderfully and generously, and the pen does indeed glide across the page. But frankly, I don't see much evidence of the nib's softness making my handwriting more dynamic and "expressive," as the manufacturer's testimonials claim. And there's something about the grip or the feel in my hand that doesn't promote my good penmanship; in that regard I prefer my Platinum Haiku with M nib, even though it's got a stiff nib and a skinnier body. I feel the Falcon's got something not quite right about its ergonomics -- maybe it's just that the screw threads on the hand grip get in the way, maybe it's the angle of the nib. Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll enjoy this pen and expect it will just take some time to get used to it. For sketching, which I'd hoped would be one of the pen's strong points given its alleged flexible nib, forget it. The nib is simply too non-responsive and clumsy for this use. The Falcon's downscale little brother, the $10 Pilot 78G with an F nib, sketches much better. So, I give the Falcon mixed reviews. Good, but not perfect by any means.

excellent choice
I purchased this pen a few years ago and I am very pleased with it.It has a very smooth ink flow.the Falcon does not skip.I believe that this price is an excellent price for a pen of this caliber.this is an excellent pen for any fountain pen collector/pen lover.This pen is indeed worth its weight in gold -- and more!

Dalia Rabin-Pelossof Speaks on Oslo Ten Years Later
Yitzhak Rabin's daughter examines the Rabin legacy in today's Middle East.
Published: Thursday, September 18, 2003
[Following are remarks by Dalia Rabin-Pelossof at a private dinner September 16 at the Beverly Hills home of Ronald W. Burkle. Dalia Rabin-Pelosoff is the daughter of former Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by a Jewish extremist in 1995. Dalia Rabin-Pelossof is chair of the Yitzhak Rabin Center. She was a member of the fifteenth Knesset, Israel's governing body, June 1999 to February 2003. While in the Knesset she served as Deputy Minister of Defense. She holds an L.L.B. and is an attorney by profession. The dinner was sponsored by the Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations at UCLA.]
* * *
This week marks ten years since two leaders -- Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat -- stood with then-American President Bill Clinton on the south lawn of the White House and shook hands. The handshake symbolized an earth-shattering shift in the relations between the antagonists of the 100 year-old Arab-Israeli conflict, and, despite the fanfare and a sense of history-in-the-making, it took place hesitantly, with mutual doubts and fears. Yet, despite the distrust and uncertainty, the leaders of both nations decided to embark on a new path, a path that would lead their peoples into a new era -- an era that would become known as "Oslo," just as the process itself became known by the name of the Norwegian capital where secret bilateral negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis lead to the signing of the accords on the White House lawn.
Oslo was an historic breakthrough: for the first time, Israelis and Palestinians agreed to recognize that bilateral negotiations are the only means to resolve the conflict, and they accepted the notion of coexistence through separation.
Two weeks before he was assassinated in 1995, Yitzhak Rabin told former secretary of state Henry Kissinger that Israel had entered the Oslo peace process because it had no choice. Or rather, it had three options regarding Gaza and the West Bank, but only one was a valid choice. The three choices were integration, that is, a move which would change the demographic basis of the State of Israel, creating a bi-national, or non-Jewish state; an Arab "Bantustan" solution, which would create an apartheid-like existence that would destroy the moral basis of the state; or negotiated coexistence.
Yitzhak Rabin chose negotiated coexistence, continuing a path that began at Camp David in 1978, when Menachem Begin became the first Israeli leader to recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, and continued at the Madrid conference in 1991, when Yitzhak Shamir began a process of negotiations with Palestinians who were thinly-veiled representatives of the PLO. Rabin saw the Oslo Accords as a natural continuation of the process that began at Camp David and continued at Madrid. Indeed, he insisted that the terminology used in the draft of the Oslo Accords be the same terminology used in the Camp David Accords.
Rabin's decision to choose negotiated coexistence was the motivation behind Oslo. Weakness was not behind it -- rather might, combined with the profound understanding of its limitations. My father was not lead or mislead, not duped nor manipulated. He knew exactly what he was getting into, what the price was and what he was receiving in return, the risks and shortcomings, the alternatives and the limitatons.
As soon as the Oslo Accords were signed there was criticism from left and right. The Israeli right saw the accords as surrender and capitulation. The Israeli left saw them as too vague -- they avoided the most difficult issues, namely Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees and the right of return, and the issue of a Palestinian state and final borders.
Rabin believed that approaching these explosive issues at such an early stage would kill the process, and that, instead, it would be wise to move forward through a series of interim agreements, progressing cautiously and carefully, until enough trust would be built to allow the two sides to deal with the emotional and existential issues of Jerusalem, refugees and final borders.
Indeed, five years after my father's assassination, we saw that an attempt by then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak to forge a comprehensive agreement that would embrace all of the issues -- including the difficult ones I just mentioned -- at a second Camp David conference hosted by President Clinton, led to a total breakdown of the diplomatic process and to the resumption of violence.
Had Yitzhak Rabin been allowed to carry out the process that he began, would we have witnessed the same breakdown? Would Israelis today be suffering from merciless terror, and would Israeli tanks be patrolling Palestinian streets? We will never know the answer to these questions. But what we do know is that since his departure, the concept of Oslo has become complicated and problematic. In Israel today, it stimulates more antagonism than identification. In Israel of 2003 there is a near consensus that the Oslo Accords were a mistake and that they are to blame for the difficult situation Israel now finds herself in. But those who blame the Oslo process for the violence and the blood-letting conveniently forget that the process itself was stopped in its tracks by three bullets fired by a messianic assassin whose goal indeed was to put an end to the process.
In Israel we tend to measure the success of Oslo by the number of victims of Palestinian terror. But we tend to forget that by 1997 Oslo had largely succeeded. With the assistance of the CIA, Israeli-Palestinian security cooperation essentially eliminated terrorism. Between September 1997 and the collapse of the Camp David negotiations in the late fall of 2000, less than a dozen Israelis were killed in suicide attacks. This was not because Hamas and Islamic Jihad did not try to launch attacks; it is because the Palestinian Authority thwarted those attacks. Even then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally telephoned Yasser Arafat ("his partner" as he called him) to thank him for his antiterror efforts.
As a result, Israel, in the period just prior to the Camp David talks of 2000, was safer than at any period in its history. Tourism was at an all-time high. The economy was bursting with foreign investment. And the international community, including the Arab states, was building economic and diplomatic links to the Jewish state.
Most important of all, Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel because Israel signed the Oslo agreement. King Hussein made it clear he would sign a peace treaty only after Israel reached an agreement with the Palestinians.
Perhaps the most visible demonstration of Oslo's success goes back to my father's assassination. No less than 87 world leaders came to Jerusalem to his funeral, including Arab leaders of the Gulf States. Not since President Kennedy's funeral in Washington thirty-two years earlier had there been such a gathering.
The goal of the assassin -- and those who incited him -- was to destroy Oslo, and essentially, they succeeded. During the fall of 2000, at Camp David, Oslo had collapsed. It collapsed because the leaders gathered there chose to ignore my father's warnings and attempted to solve the explosive issues of Jerusalem, the right of return and borders. It collapsed because Israel continued to enlarge the settlements and build new ones, leading the Palestinians to believe that the negotiations were not in good faith. But, above all, it failed because Yassir Arafat resorted to violence.
But Oslo was not only a technical agreement between two political and military entities; it was an agreement of reconciliation between two peoples. And its success should also be measured in the changes which have occurred over the past decade in Israeli public opinion vis-à-vis the conflict. Ten years ago, a small minority of Israelis were in favor of dismantling settlements in any future agreement -- today, a majority are in favor. Ten years ago, an even smaller minority was in favor of the creation of a Palestinian state -- today a majority is in favor. Even a sizable majority of Likud voters is now willing for territorial compromise. And, almost unbelievably, almost half of Israeli voters are willing to consider some kind of arrangement of compromise on Jerusalem. This, too, is the legacy of Oslo.
Most importantly, Oslo represented a mind-shattering change of tactics between two enemies. The hesitant handshake on the White House lawn represented an acceptance that the conflict can only be resolved by negotiation and compromise. Until that moment, the goal for both sides was to vanquish the enemy. From that moment on, the goal became to learn to live with the enemy side-by-side, in honor and in peace. That goal remains elusive and, at times, seemingly unapproachable. But it still exists -- in the rhetoric of the leaders of both sides and in the public opinion polls of both communities. This is perhaps the most important component of the legacy of Oslo: the realization that one side will not emerge the victor and the other the vanquished, but rather that the destinies of both nations are mutually dependent.
And with this knowledge Yitzhak Rabin decided that it was time to give peace a chance, and to take the risks needed to fulfill the obligation to make it a reality. His goal was not to unmask the face of the enemy, but to change the face of the enemy. Ladies and gentleman -- let me assure you -- Yitzhak Rabin KNEW the face of the enemy. And he also knew that, despite all the difficulties and obstacles, Israel had no choice but to learn how to work with the enemy towards building a new reality.
Yet, despite the psychological and sociological changes brought on by the Oslo Accords in terms of how Palestinians and Israelis perceive one another, we find ourselves in a new spiral of violence, with seemingly no end in sight. While willingness to compromise is greater than it has ever been in the past, the everyday reality is one of frustration and despair. However, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to remind you that history does repeat itself, and that windows of opportunity will present themselves. The question is: will we know to recognize the window of opportunity and exploit it to our advantage? We also know from history that we cannot allow ourselves to accept the status quo. Every stone must be overturned in our search for a solution. When we accepted the status quo and simply waited, as we did after 1967, the situation will explode, as it did in the form of the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The same was true of the first Intifada. As American President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: "Devise a plan and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something."
However, today, after three years of bloodshed, there is little trust between the two sides and bilateral negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis is almost impossible. Thus, the active intervention and involvement of the American government is necessary to jump-start the process. Without it, tensions will escalate and the situation will deteriorate.
The choice is still the same, and there is only one option: negotiated coexistence. In just seven years' time -- in 2010 -- there will be a majority of Arabs living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. The option of integration does not exist, unless we want to forgo the Jewish character of the state; the status quo -- ruling over millions of Palestinians against their will -- is not an option, unless we want to become an apartheid state. Just as was true in 1993, the same is true today -- the only choice is negotiated coexistence with our Palestinian neighbors.
Most people today remember Yitzhak Rabin as the Peace Maker. Oslo has become the most dominant component of his legacy. Yet, let us not forget that he was a military man most of his adult life. He was the commander of the forces that liberated Jerusalem in 1948. He was the chief-of-staff who lead the Israel Defense Forces to its greatest victory in 1967. And it was during his second term as prime minister that Israel enjoyed great economic growth -- indeed the greatest in its history. Indeed, the three years of his second term were no less than a revolution socially and economically.
His vision was to create a secure, democratic and prosperous Israel, living at peace with its neighbors.
My work at the Yitzhak Rabin Center -- Israel's official memorial for my father -- is based on perpetuating his vision and preserving his legacy. We are working to strengthen Israel's democracy, to create an awareness of the implications of the assassination and its impact on our society and to instill my father's values -- peace, change of national priorities, and excellence in leadership, democratic values and education.
The Rabin Center is also focusing on leadership training. We have established a group of leaders who will examine what is necessary for national leadership in our country.
Despite the immense challenges, I remain committed to my father's vision of creating a secure, democratic, and prosperous Israel, living at peace with its neighbors. This is the essence of his legacy and I intend to do all within my power to bring it to fruition -- for the alternative is unthinkable.
Thank you.

Abuse accused faces more charges (From Congleton Guardian)
National News RSS Feed
Abuse accused faces more charges
12:17am Saturday 21st December 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
A man accused of historic sex abuse at children's homes will face 14 further charges after more potential victims came forward, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
John Allen, 72, appeared at Caernarfon Crown Court yesterday where he was indicted on 11 counts of indecent assault, two of buggery and one of rape, taking place between 1972 and 1991.
He already stood accused of 32 offences involving 14 boys and one girl, aged between seven and 15 at the time, stretching back to 1968.
But on August 8, a court heard that eight further people had contacted the police since his first appearance at Mold Magistrates' Court.
Allen, of Foxglove Avenue, Needham Market, Ipswich, denies all the charges.
He was arrested in April as part of Operation Pallial, the investigation by the NCA into allegations of historic child abuse at care homes in North Wales.
He was released on bail and will appear at Mold Crown Court on February 7.

The Maid
The Maid
Sebastián Silva, 2009
Wex at Gateway
Join us at the Gateway Film Center (located in the South Campus Gateway, just three blocks to our south) where we program a different exceptional independent or international title for a run of at least two weeks each month. Wexner Center members pay member pricing for all Wex at Gateway screenings—and save on most other movies at Gateway too.
"Blackly and tenderly funny with flashes of genuine compassion. The Maid is among the best films I've seen this year. Catalina Saavedra gives an astonishing performance."—Dana Stevens, Slate.com
Winner of two world cinema jury prizes at Sundance and a nominee for best foreign film in the Golden Globes, The Maid is a perfectly calibrated black comedy about Raquel, a housemaid for an upper-class family in Santiago, Chile. Practically a member of the family, Raquel is so devoted to her work that the family decides to assist her by hiring more help. This prompts the now-threatened Raquel to unleash mind games on the family she serves. (95 mins., 35mm)
We initially booked this film for the Wexner Center's Cinema Latino series, and it screened in that series on January 21. We are pleased to now make it available to additional viewers through our partnership with Gateway Film Center.

Thousands of residents also defied the rain, bringing lawn chairs to watch the city's annual Independence Day fireworks show. Vehicles found all the parking spaces around Oxford Lake, near where the fireworks were launched, but many more people camped alongside U.S. 78, filling every parking spot available from the Sticks 'N Stuff furniture store to Oxford Family Practice. Some even brought their own fireworks to use before the main event.
Earlier in the day, a little rain brought no pause to the scheduled events — it wasn't about to stop Robin Davis and her canine pal "Chloe" from having their fun.
Drizzle fell outside as Davis and her 3-year-old golden retriever stood patiently in the Oxford Civic Center, awaiting the judges' decision. As far back as Davis can remember, she has attended Oxford's annual Freedom Festival, usually with a dog in tow to participate in the event's dog show.
"I've just grown up in this area and my grandmother and granddad used to come to this," said Davis of Oxford. "It's just tradition."
Davis' determination paid off and Chloe won the "most beautiful dog" award for the second year in a row.
"She really has a pretty coat," Davis said.
Davis was one of hundreds who defied the wet weather to attend Independence Day festivities at Oxford Lake. The event kicked off Thursday morning with a parade of children dressed in patriotic costumes, followed by the dog show. Inside the civic center were plenty of free carnival games while several food vendors were set up outside by the lake. A karate demonstration by Yoshukai Karate of Anniston was also held in the civic center.
Andrew Redding, 5, of Oxford, showed off his karate skills Thursday, overcoming a bit of stage fright in his first live performance before he stood his ground and finished the demonstration. Andrew's mother, Shannon Redding, said her son was only two months into his karate lessons and yet she could already see a difference in him.
"I can tell a difference in his attention span and his balance has improved ... it's really kind of cute," she said.
Before the karate demonstration, Kenneth Henderson III, 4, of Oxford, enjoyed a sugary cupcake that he'd just won in a cake walk.
"It was red and it tasted like a strawberry," the boy said as he bounced around before running to the next carnival game.
Kenneth's mother, Amy Henderson, said her family always enjoys the Freedom Festival.
"We come every year and it's always a great celebration," she said as she cradled her sleeping, 5-week-old daughter, Lily, in her arms.
Amy and Chris Law's 20-month-old daughter, Elly, won the children's parade's best-in-show award. The tiny blond girl, dressed in patriotic colors, was pulled in a decorated red, white and blue wagon, complete with U.S. flags and shiny, blue-and-silver tassels.
Amy Law said she came to the event because her parents used to bring her and put her in the children's parade.
"I wanted her to have the same experience," Law said of her daughter.

Directed by Andrea Arnold
Based on the Emily Brontё novel
A fresh and radically distinct take on Emily Brontё's classic novel from British director Andrea Arnold (FISH TANK, RED ROAD), one of contemporary cinema's most unique voices. In this adaptation, Arnold forgoes period frills and a sweeping score and strips Brontё's story to the root of youthful passion, restoring its stark power for a contemporary audience. Heathcliff – in Arnold's version, a black boy – is taken in by a Yorkshire farmer, Earnshaw. Living in Earnshaw's home on the windswept moors, Heathcliff develops a passionate relationship with the farmer's teenage daughter, Cathy, inspiring the envy and mistrust of his son, Hindley. When Earnshaw passes away, the now-grown characters must finally confront the intense feelings and rivalries that have built up throughout their years together. Winner, Best Cinematography, 2011 Venice Film Festival. 35mm.
U.K. • 2011 • 129 mins. • Oscilloscope Laboratories
"Breathtaking… Andrea Arnold does more than just adapt Emily Brontë's novel of unrequited love; she's turned it into a feral, impressionistic take on the book's hormonal passions and overwhelming emotional tidal waves."
– David Fear, Time Out New York
"Audaciously cutting-edge... As refreshing as a dawn walk in winter on the Yorkshire moors, Andrea Arnold's 'Wuthering Heights' shows how 21st century cinema can—and should—go about boldly revitalizing even the most familiar literary properties… with a vivid, urgent vibrancy that instantly and absorbingly erases the gap of centuries."
– Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter
"Exhilarating. Brilliant, visceral…a daring raid behind the lines of heritage English Lit."
– Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Critics' Pick! Easily the most gloriously feral literary adaption of any canonized work to date. This jittery, elemental take uses impressionistic visuals and unkempt, off-the-cuff style to emphasize its characters' inner turmoil."
– David Fear, Time Out New York
"Remarkable. The most atmospheric ultra-realism the story has ever seen, an awesome sense of the Yorkshire landscape, and no small payload of brooding poeticism."
– Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
"The most radical take yet on Brontё's feverish 1847 masterpiece of bedeviled romantic love… an unself-conscious assault on the pristine. What makes Arnold's version sui generis, though, is not the casting of black actors as Heathcliff the boy and the man but he way she replaces the Gothic formalism that characterizes most adaptations of the novel with post-social realist abstraction."
– Graham Fuller, Film Comment
"A vibrant Malickian adaptation." – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
"Highly regarded for her 2003 Oscar-winning short film, WASP, and her 2009 dark drama, FISH TANK, Arnold's métier is grim and gritty tales of lost youths struggling for something beyond their grasp… Oh yeah, and Heathcliff is black… Arnold cannily embodies his exoticism. 'Emily Brontё felt different from her society, and, since Heathcliff is Emily, I wanted him to embody that truth as well.' Arnold's version brings you in to the gloaming, where pain, love, and longing are hard to tell apart."
– Hillary Weston, Blackbook

That was clear months ago when the U.S. backed Europe's nomination of Christine Lagarde for the top job at the International Monetary Fund. It ensured the Europeans would back the U.S. at the World Bank.
But the cozy days of you-scratch-my-back-if-I-scratch-yours are numbered. And not before time.
Former Nigerian finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is claiming, if not victory, then success. Success in breaching the IMF-World Bank club for insiders. Never again will a European be chosen for the IMF or an American for the World Bank without a rigorous test based on merit.
Whether Mr Kim is the best or most qualified for the job will remain a debate. But what is clear is that Ngozo Okonjo-Iweala was equally well-equipped to lead the bank.
As the 21th century becomes increasingly a story of the developing world, the Bretton Woods institutions have been put on notice in clear terms: no more deal-making and a lot more transparency. Those days belong to an era when the U.S. and Europe ruled the economic world. Those days are coming to an end.

Product Testimonials
REM Caps Testimonials
My husband has had insomnia for many years. He suffers from problems getting to sleep and falling back asleep. He has tried several natural and prescription sleep aids in the past to no avail. I asked him to try REM Caps, and to our absolute amazement he has been getting quality sleep for 6 weeks! He is relaxed and happy and I can see his stress level has decreased. Thank you! - Trish Mayhew
REM Caps are a great product. In addition to helping me fall asleep, the sleep I get is more restful. I am remembering dreams more which has always correlated to feeling better rested. Even on nights when I get to bed late I awake feeling good. Thanks! - Scott Eppelman
REM Caps really helped improved the quality of my sleep. I woke up feeling well-rested with unusually high energy levels for early morning workouts. - Matt Seeley, Triathlete
I have used REM Caps for 2 years. The caps enhance my quality of sleep while not making me drowsy. - Greg Mueller, Triathlete
I have tried a bunch of things from alternative sleep remedies to prescription drugs. The problem has not been so much getting to sleep as staying asleep, although sometimes I can't get to sleep either. So far nothing has worked as well as REM Caps. I have been sleeping right through the night. - Bill C
Our son is autistic, and we have recently discovered that REM caps enable him to sleep all night long, achieving deeper sleep and thereby not suffering from seizures at night. Our son was on several "harsh" medications before we used REM caps. We are much more comfortable giving our son a more "natural" way to achieve REM. Thanks to Hammer Nutrition! - Wade Ward
Tried the REM caps, and can't say enough good things. They worked so well last night! Thanks Hammer Nutrition! - Naomi H.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention (resources from Kings College Hospital)
Visit the 15 minute e-learning course designed for hospital training programmes. Authored by Dr Roopen Arya and Dr Lara Roberts, the programme in its original format belongs to Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the intellectual property ownership of the original work belongs to Roopen Arya.
This e-learning resource is designed to help nurses, pharmacists and junior doctors understand quickly the concept of hospital-associated venous thromboembolism, how to prevent it and to identify which steps of the prevention pathway are necessary to audit. The course has been endorsed by a wide cross-section of the UK's medical community.
Key documents from the National VTE Prevention Programme can be accessed and downloaded, enabling participants to continue their learning after course completion. The course concludes with three challenging clinical cases that require risk assessment and then decision-making on appropriate thromboprophylaxis. On successful completion, participants receive a certificate for their records.
This resource was developed independently by Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and has been adapted from NICE guidance with supplementary practical information, with the intention of reflecting the content of the NICE guidance, and facilitating its implementation. NICE fully supports the use of the guidance with this intention. NICE has undertaken a check of the resource at the point at which this link was published and is satisfied that it broadly supports the guidance. However NICE is unable to confirm that all of the content at any one time accurately reflects the guidance, and therefore no guarantees are given either by NICE in this regard. If an individual clinician has any queries or concerns about the relationship between NICE guidance and this educational resource they should always refer to the original guidance published by NICE, and this should in all cases be regarded as the only definitive statement of the guidance.

Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal system, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do not need an NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters. In most cases, the NPDES permit program is administered by authorized states. Since its introduction in 1972, the NPDES permit program is responsible for significant improvements to our Nation's water quality.
WHAT CAN I FIND ON THIS WEB SITE?The site contains technical and regulatory information about the NPDES permit program. The NPDES Permits Program consists of a number of programs and initiatives. Links to each of these programs and initiatives are located on the left navigational bar.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
The hardships of life for pioneer women in the Old West is the unlikely subject of this musical, which originally played on the Denver City Theater mainstage in 1982.
Sarah (Rhoda Kennedy Rogers, who makes a wonderfully sympathetic grandma and fine narrator) is sorting through the many quilts she has sewn over the years. Each quilt rekindles a memory, which the 16-member company depicts in song.
The singing is pleasant and well-suited to the old-time western music, performed with a live onstage band. And we learn that everything wasn't picturesque on the wide, wild prairie: the subjects range from courtships and quilting bees to miscarriage and desperation, as women of the time commonly endured 10 or more pregnancies.
Slower and tamer than most fringe fare, and with a few tearjerker moments, this will appeal to older fringe-goers, history buffs and old-time music fans. And in a true show of prairie community spirit, the centrepiece quilt will be raffled in support of the company.
— Janice Sawka

Committee says thanks to community
On behalf of the 2011 Cooperstown Cotillion Committee, we would like to extend a sincere thanks to the Glimmerglass Festival for its continued support of our program.
On Friday, Aug. 12, 46 Cooperstown Central School students attended an excellent performance of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun" at the opera house. For many years, the Glimmerglass Festival has hosted our students for a night of dancing in the Thaw pavilion followed by a performance. This opportunity exposes our youth to the exciting world of opera and illuminates the cultural experiences in the Cooperstown area.
We thank you for a wonderful evening!
